You won't believe the INCREDIBLE TREASURES hiding in these old barns! CRAZY items from 1800s-1900s! 

Thanks!

Quit apologizing for saying "cool". I don't care HOW many times you say it. THAT place was COOL, man. That was the coolest place I've ever even dreamed of. I was a kid In the 60's with my Dad scouring the countryside for auctions and scrap yards to find old trucks to flip (He was a well-liked Country Pastor.) I had a great childhood. Cool, cool, cool. Many memories came back to me watching this video. Thanks, Man. Cool.

I can't see how anybody that watches this video doesn't give this one a "Big Thumbs Up".!

You're a kid in a big candy store Silas. Find all those cool vintage vehicles and items must have sent your heart racing.

What a rare treat to see such historical relics of our past. thanks for showing.

We toured that place it's in Minden, Nebraska. When my dad was alive bout 15 years ago it was so so awesome. I'm glad you had the opportunity to go threw it and so me again thank you so much for the memories Silas.

Wow I could actually smell the old oil/dust❤ Silas you were born with an old soul. Everything was way COOL. Thanks for showing us. 🥰

i can remember when my daddy ran a swannee store and had a COKE COOLER HE PUT HIS DRINKS IN AND CHOPPED UP BLOCK ICE AROUND THEM THE COLDEST DRINKS IN TOWN IN THE LATE 50S AND 60S IN MONTICELLO FLA.

Silas you must have been in heaven. Talk about an adventure this one is gonna be hard to top. Thanks for taking us with you. So much history in those storage units. Wow thanks again.

That funeral car was so nice that people were dieing to get in it

The Vagabond is actually a Frazer, and it’s the original hatchback.

Complements to the cameraman who followed you. Good cinematography! Steady hand!

In the year 2022 it is hard to believe these opportunities still exist. Another 10 years from now it is likely these situations will be all but gone. You said it best "I have no business bidding on these items." This is something most of us have said but we just can't stay away. All of this is a part of our fading American history. My favorites are the 1920s/30s old cars and the 7up machine. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.

That is a really cool site... Cool is cool.. Steve McQueen is cool. Junk is cool... Everything you feel that is cool. Guess what my friend. Cool is cool...

It’s nice that everything was stored in buildings. An amazing find to be sure.

Silas I really enjoy your growth into a true professional commentator with a very vast unique knowledge of almost anything. I look forward to seeing more of your reviews of other such treasure throves. That said you crushing vehicles and looking for treasure in the vehicles brought in really are what many folks would like to see.

I knew right where you were from the buildings, welcome to Nebraska. If I had know you were coming up I would have driven the short drive to meet you and treat you to dinner. 😇😇

Thank you Silas for giving us all this exposure to something most of us wouldn't have come across. Going to talk to my boss. We'll be watching this auction for the hearse and fire trucks. Can't wait to see what other treasures come out of these buildings.

thanks for taking me for the ride love it

That Cab over is awesome.. you can't beat the overflow from museums to find great stuff

The rearend from that Volvo is real strung and is what they use in hot rods and racing, they are narrower than most rear ends which we’ve had lots of room to put back tires , lol nice thanks BigAl California.

I grew up with old stuff like this Silas. I never thought a boat would float if it was not made of wood and learned how to make a boat from this time and era. Model TT trucks were common, a few model A's and rich folk from down river had rigs that were late thirties an some real nice and newish rigs were forties...mostly before the war but a couple nice new forty sevens were around, great big flat bed trucks that hauled the hay we bailed, all square bales that weighed about a hundred and twenty pounds... a lot for this ten year old boy to toss on the flat bed truck... one real nice driver made a step that hooked to the back of his truck so I could step up on it and then toss these bales of hay on the deck... I guess I had best get to the point. About this time in life, I was sixteen going on thirty... but close to my seventeenth birthday Kennedy was killed in texas... I loved that man with all my heart and looked forwards to serving for him in vietnam. I was not scared or was I ever thinking something this horrible could happen to the best man the world knew. I remember the coach that pulled his casket down the streets of texas for his funeral.... just like that one in the barn. Six great big white horses decorated pulled that coach and as he was carried down the streets, I wanted to kill every communist! Anyone from the asian countries was a suspect of mine and I come very close to killing a very fine man who was from Korea, south Korea just cause I knew now what to look for... he talked some sense into me an left me shaking in my boots... knowing I had nearly done something as bad as those involved killing my best friend and great leader John F. Kennedy. I later met his family and they were so nice to me that it drove me near insane from how close I came to killing him. I was a extremely wild man of my age as I was emancipated just two years and some from a horrible life. I had got married to the first girl who was nice to me as I was considered a freak. I was a very large man at that age, wore a skin tight size X.L. tee shirt. I still wore size thirty four jeans but the legs were only 28 and so had to cut off the pants that were the 30 inch inseam. I also wore size fifteen shoes... that alone almost kept me out of the service but they found boots that would go over my feet so tight that I just hated them. I had a twenty inch bicep and twenty two inch forearm making me just a huge freak amongst most men around me as six foot wasn't as common as one would think. I got the hardest jobs that required a lot of lifting in the logging industry... I could do two mens work everyday and they still paid me a lower paying wage cause I was not eighteen yet. So at a dollar and twenty five cents a hour, I worked ten hours six days a week an on rig ups, we worked till we just couldn't see anymore and someone would get hurt in the dark stringing cable. When I would leave the landing at night every night, I would drive a truck loaded with logs... a load that should of cost me time in jail for hauling on a public road... I would haul to our shop and drop the load, then take that truck home to leave on the landing in the morning for the driver who rode home where I should of at night when the logging was done. I loaded an hauled a load every night like that for months an they sorted those logs at the shop area as to where they hauled them.. On sunday I would load all of our trucks from the logs I hauled during the week and those six days of hauling was always twelve legal loads at least for their drivers to come and drive to the mills. As time went by, I got kinda cocky and seen just how much I could bale onto a truck to bring to the shop. .... I had got out of the truck and parked it loaded to get the loader started at the shop to take off the logs on the truck as it was not safe to stand near... I thought the ground was stable. Back then tires were not the ones of today and a front tire blew causing the truck to sag over so I was walking our shovel over to hold onto the truck but it was just too slow and it started to sag more then over it went... It was just before all that, one of their nicest trucks that was destroyed when it hit hard. My boss asked me if I could pay for this truck I destroyed of his?? I told him I would make payments but for all at once no, I had a family to raise so he fired me. He sued me for twelve thousand dollars which is what that truck cost new. By then this truck was nearly five years old and had over three hundred thousand miles on it. I counter sued, lost both cases, had to pay court costs but the judge ruled that this truck was only worth six thousand dollars... at a time when men only barely earned three thousand a year if you worked overtime. I knew I stood a good chance of losing because that judge and I had a history... so I had pre sold a bunch of my stuff and with money saved to buy a new home paid all of it that day. My wife asked me for a divorce because I spent her money that I made, she took care of our kid an washed the dishes once a week. Man oh man I should of granted her that divorce as it cost me a lot more later. I got sidetracked again.... I had handled horses in the woods logging an some of that gear on the ground there was like what I used... this video brought back so many memories

What an incredible find. I wonder how long those goodies have been hiding in the dark?

Wonderful video - and on my birthday! Thanks, Silas, for all you do and for sharing with us! You are so authentic and you are so comfortable sharing. Take care and have a nice weekend!

the Model A with tracks , was used for delivering mail in the snow

Mr Goodplyers would love that auction 😊

the smile that crawling through those buildings brought on your face…. priceless. exactly why i watch your channel 🤘🏻

So bloody awesome! Silas, my great grandfather fixed this wooden airplanes in WW1 on an aircraft carrier! Killer videos!

Amazing seeing what's inside the storage barns. The Mopar's got my attention. Mainly the Fury and Rampage.

Yeah I'm with you Silas, this one of my favourite videos you've done, loved it, I'm bookmarking the website for sure, so interesting to watch all this history got auctioned off.

Thank,s Silas , verry COOL 👍👍😃🇦🇺

The adventures are real. Thank You Silas.

Silas what a wonderful adventure!! Unbelievable finds will be watching auction updates!! Love to see what stuff goes for and hope all goes high it's well worth it to any collector!!

I have ridden in a wood airplane. My great-uncle had an Army Air Corps trainer bi-plane. he used it for crop dusting in Winner, SD.

The wagon is a 1968 Ford Country Sedan

Brilliant, Silas - what a fantastic adventure. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! 🙂

Oh my gosh I could have looked forever! There is so much stuff. They will be awhile getting that all out, organized and ready to sell. I'm with you, I saw stuff I wanted but have no place for it or business (or money) buying it. It will be fun just checking the site when they get it all cataloged for the auction. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Stay safe and GOD bless

That museum is really neat. Went there back in 2004 you better have all day because that’s what it takes to tour it. Man I was hoping you would turn around with the camera that old John Deere combine in the one building looked pretty good!

old fire trucks, but no police cars? Still COOL!

Thanks for the fun field trip teacher Silas! 🤠 👍👍👍👍

Silas no question about it you should have your own national television show!!!

Thank you for taking us along on this fantastic adventure. I love to restore to working condition or re-purpose any old objects I find. The reason I mention this is often I media blast the rusty iron with glass beads. The funny part of this is even though there is NO paint left, paint shows up when I glass bead blast it. Great for telling me the colour to paint some object. I mention this because I’m sure old lettering would do the same. But as I haven’t done it on a lettered object yet, I would do a test on a piece that doesn’t matter that much first.

Silas, the thing you showed at the beginning was an early type of hay loader... it was pulled behind a hay wagon which was pulled by horses or mules, It would straddle the rows of hay, pick them up and move it to the top where it would fall onto the back of the wagon. From that point, a worker would move the hay to the front of the wagon as high as they could pile it, it was then taken to the barn where it was unloaded by a set of hay forks rhat were also powered by horses. l remember working with my grandparents on the '50s putting up hay that way!

Great job Silas, it's amazing what's still out there.

I hit the like button Silas because of the long drive the gas you spent and taking us along with you!

Well I’ll be Silas has a goin to town truck! Very nice!

Wow Silas wow!!! Best "barn find" video ever! Yes please go back and make another video, maybe more!! Thanks for some of the interesting videos to be found on RU-vid!

Wow what an awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing this great time capsule with us. You did a wonderful job showing what was there and explaining what many of the pieces were. I really enjoy all of you videos, but this one is a cut above the rest.

If you run the registration number,(NC604V) of the airplane at the start of the video, the plane appears on the US Civil Aircraft Register in 1930. It's listed as a de Havilland Gipsy Moth, they were generally used as trainers. The bi-plane was a British design that was also licensed to build in the US and Canada.

My favorite video so far love all that old stuff.

The Otto engine was a large stationary single-cylinder internal combustion four-stroke engine designed by the German Nicolaus Otto. It was a low-RPM machine, and only fired every other stroke due to the Otto cycle, also designed by Otto.

I've looked at the newer sheep herder wagons in use up in the Idaho mountains. They're still made of wood and custom built. Inside the museum is amazing, from covered wagons to Diamond Reo trucks! I want the cool 60 something ih pickup. Great job, guys.

Keep saying cool because it is cool, I was a teenager in the 70's and I still say cool, and man alot, so keep up the cool videos.

They knew what to save!!

History in waiting, so glad some people hold on to their junk till it becomes priceless

Great adventure, thanks for carrying us along.

Wow , i originally intended to fast flip through this vid , watching about 5 miniutes of it , i ended watching the whole thing. I never would have even guessed that there was that much untouched vintage stuff left in existance , let alone in one place . Super facinating . Thanks for the tour

I'm a collector I have my thing's on display for everyone to see indoors and outdoors. The things I have out side is on the honor system hope no one takes it so far it's been sitting for year's. I agree a lot of that stuff has to be stored indoors or it will fall apart very quick.

Quonset huts are great buildings! Local Ventura County farmers use to buy them as military surplus from the Seabee base at Port Hueneme, CA and relocate them to farms all over the area. These building came in all types of configuration and sizes. PS - when stationed in Japan, lived in an upgraded Quonset hut. Old but did the job.

Incredibly incredible!

Very COOL! Thank you so much for your time in sharing this video! I love old trucks! I'd love to have the yellow Ford cabover. I imagine it was difficult to sell those windows. With a name like "Warps" people thought the windows might leak! Love the cabover Chevy '41-'46-year model. I'll be watching for the auction, Thanks again!

Thank you Silas for this adventure!! This is one of your best videos and I love the old cars and trucks!! There are a lot of treasures there!

One word, WOW!

That's heaven for me places like that untouched for decades....

That's Studebaker would look good hauling rutabagas!!

I really liked this Video a lot.

WOW!..@ Thumbs up>

What a awesome walk around I want everything but I like that old Whites diesel truck Silas you need that Torpedo for the top of the camper bus 😆

42:25 Maybe a phone switcher, from the early days of dial telephones. These put telephone operators out of work. The yellow Ford wagon was '68.

If that's the overflow the museum must be amazing.

If I'm right that electrical panel you saw in the building with the telephone switchboard is actually a very, very old telephone relay switching system that was used back when telephones first had the old rotary dials. With it you didn't need an operator to connect you to the line you wanted, it did all of that for you.

that coffee machine is really cool, i love old stuff like that.

I want that old washing machine in the back of that truck in the 2nd building lol. So cool

Should be a cool and fascinating auction

Silas wonderful videos, the old sheephearders wagon looked like a horse drawn streetcar as seed on the shootist movie ,with John Wayne. The woodcook stove would be the beesnees four camper buss. Heat with biscuits yuuum.

I remember the pickers doing a show from that place about 10 years ago

GREAT VIDEO. REALLY GREAT. It helps that you know for the most part, know what your looking at

WOW Silas That Awesome place thanks for taking us on your Kool Adventure

Awesome video, thankyou so much, this took me back so much(I'm over 80 now) What a pleasure to be here with you today, From Western Canada. Happy trails friend!

Wow some super cool stuff there. Love the Divco dairy trucks. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

The Otto engine is the most valuable item in the sale. I'll start the bidding on it at $100,000 (thats correct, one hundred thousand). No joke!

Can be summed up in one word - WOW !!

Yes I do have been waiting for years to see what is stashed in all of those, seen and known about those for years. Thanks for sharing your time.

Wow thats uber kool Love the vintage fire truck 🤘🤘

I know I written a lot but I'm excited of all the stuff around!!

Went through Pioneer Village in early 1960 going home after a Family Funeral. One of the washing machines looked like my Mom's

Great tour, I'd imagine it took hundreds of gallons of silver paint to cover those sheds.

That'll be a great sale! Thank you for the tour! It is really cool (I like that word!) To see all the old relics and stuff on video rather than in book! Thank you Silas and Carlos for braving the heat and old dusty storage buildings!!

All of those antiques are very very COOL😁

You are a great person to show things like this. I'm a 74 year male who has seen just about all. Never nothing of this magnitude. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE.. Take care....Ji will be following.... Mike Ross , southeast Texas

I remember seeing signs for Pioneer Village but never stopped in.

The Fire Truck is Cool Too. So was The first fire engine

Very incredible man they've got some real nice old cars then I'll go for top dollar for those men good job on that I like seeing that stuff have a great day

Just amazing how much old stuff is in there

As you mentioned during the video, I'll bet there is incredible small things buried under the big things and in boxes and cabinets. What a treasure chest of old things

It was a Walk through History - man oh man - a Lot of Cool Old Cars and Trucks and other Farm Equipment - wow - some People will get some Great Pieces for sure and maybe You get what You want ! Thanks for showing us all the Buildings with Interesting Items ! Great Drone Fly Over as well ! Another Nice Video ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !
